Burger King

Options
I am going to get a reputation here for a junk food addict but this one is a genuine complaint.

On my work I popped over to BK for my lunch as forgotten to bring my packed one in I prepared last night. I ordered a whopper meal, handed the chap my money, he handed me back my change. I then watched him march into the kitchen as there was no other staff, he didn't bother washing his hands or applying gloves even though he had just handled cash and then proceeded to handle the raw ingredients with his bare hands. Grabbing a clutch of raw onions, handing the bread.

I thought the very basics of food handling, was that if you have handled cash, you must wash your hands before handling food. Needless to say my burger went straight into the bin.

Cheers Burger King.

    Think you already have :rotfl: (so your other complaints weren't genuine? :eek:)

    TBH I would have complained then and there if it was such an issue that you just threw it away, either to get a refund of have a new one made that you were satisfied with.

    1. You should have asked him to remake it after washing his hands.

    2. If you wish to be so fussy (and I don't REALLY blame you I guess), then stop eating in such establishments.

    3. STOP EATING SO MUCH JUNK FOOD.

    Why on earth didn't you say something at the time?! I would have done. But I'm sure the urban foxes were grateful for their Whopper Meal.

    I had already paid, well I could have said something, but then he would have gone and remade it and I would have been concious that there may be some bodily fluids in it or something, even if there wasn't and I wouldn't have enjoyed it anyway.

    Also I didn't really want to get him in trouble with his boss either.

    Yes I should stop eating junk food you are right :T

    So lets see..... all your posts are about fast food outlets and all your posts are liked by a poster called 'Sub boy'.

    Cynical? Moi? ;)

    And all your receipt proves is you visited a BK...

    Excuse me?

    My name is not in reference to Subway (which I assume you are hinting at), but actually in reference to being a sub to a dominant woman.

    Don't let facts get in the way of your cynicism though. I liked his post (not all of his posts so you can edit yours right now) because I chose to.

    Simples.
